I'd love to do another Baja trip, I'm an old Baja hand, first trip as a small boy with my parents 1957, first trip to the tip 1973. Now retired so anytime is good except dead of winter, I spent X-mas there in the early 80's and it was very cold (down jacket cold) so winter (Dec-Feb) is out.

Don't shortchange yourself. For greater challenge, get a bigger bike, a really tall bike. 2 cylinder, 1200 cc minimum. Lots of stuff to piss you off on a big bike that you'd laugh at on a small bike. Ride street tires. Carry extra tires. Carry 2 months worth of gear, food and alcohol on a 2-day trip. At least 10 gallons of fuel. Do it 2-up. Sit backwards on the bike. I'm sure a creative guy like you can think of lots more ways to have fun and challenge yourself. Add tacos and beer and it's all good.

Wally, is that two-up idea an invite? It sounds like a Fabulous experience (said with a slight lisp and a flick of the wrist)!

I'll be there about 20 miles south of San Felipe somewhere between mile 250 and 300. So the fastest bikes will be coming through when it's still dark. The trucks will be coming through that area somewhere around noon.
